Safety Seat with Base:
Make sure the
vehicle is parked on level ground. Lock the
Safety Seat onto the Base and check that
the Safety Seat is level side to side on the
vehicle seat (Fig. 57-1).
Check the Seat Angle Indicator that matches
the weight of your child.
• If the Seat Angle Indicator shows the
bubble centered between the lines, the seat
is installed at the proper level of recline for
occupants 1.8 to 10 kg (4 to 22 lbs).
• If the Seat Angle Indicator shows the level
line parallel with the ground, the seat is
installed at the proper level of recline for
occupants greater than 10 to 15.8 kg
(22 to 35 lbs).
Failure to properly recline the Safety Seat on the vehicle
seat increases the risk of death or serious injury. If the Safety
Seat is positioned too upright, the child’s head may drop
forward and result in breathing problems. If the Safety Seat
is too reclined, excessive force may be exerted on the child’s
shoulders and neck in a crash. The following instructions
must be carefully followed to ensure proper recline angle for
the Safety Seat.
